It looks like an IME field, probably activated by Ctrl + Space or something like that. Turn off other language inputs in Control Panel\Language

Arma 3 announced

If you specifically want to use one in the campaign missions, you can get one when you arrive at the camp on Altis and are allowed to free roam to go scouting. Some of the soldiers will mention a weapons smuggler's depot. Walk out of the camp and take a vehicle to the map marker, and get...

Payday 2

You can play DLC heists w/o buying them. Just jump in a lobby hosted by someone else. Give them a shot and see if you like them. Sniper and shotgun packs change up the combat gameplay a lot, recommended. The Courier Mod pack also helps a lot with optimizing your guns.

Payday 2

Only the host needs to own the Heist DLCs. You don't need to buy them to join a lobby. If you have a group of friends you can use that to your advantage. The weapons packs that give the biggest change in gameplay are the sniper, shotgun, and mod courier packs.

The progression pacing could be better, but getting enough skill points to be useful is pretty quick. At the top end there's plenty of ways to customize playstyle and good replayability. Multiplayer is the way to go, obviously best with friends, however pubs are pretty decent. Overall it's a...

I haven't found any proprietary software for peripherals to be easy to use. They're all flashy and intuitive. Just spend a day setting it up, load it to the device's onboard memory, and uninstall if possible.

Frozen Synapse fits the bill. The "Red" expansion adds co op mode, and only 1 player needs to buy it. It's got a neat twist where each turn you give orders to your units which are then executed simultaneously with the enemy's. For co op, you can share your plans to your partner, come to an...

6GV2 is pretty solid. You might want to get a key tester for ~$15 to see which switch you prefer. Buckling spring is definitely great for typing, but it might not be your thing for gaming.

Science fiction books about space exploration

I just finished Ringworld by Larry Niven. Plenty of "new world" to explore there. Subverts some common scifi ideas, such as separate drive and weapons systems: particle cannons and fusion-powered ion drives are the same thing, just pointed in different directions.

3-4yr old Multi Player games

Insurgency is somewhere between CS:GO and Red Orchestra. Small maps, quick deaths, proper optics (doesn't zoom whole screen), VERY intense firefights. If you want huuuge maps have a look at Arma 3. From small squad coop to large scale milsim warfare with land/sea/air vehicles.

Have a look at Men of War for small-unit WWII tactics. For something cold war/modern, try the Wargame series, European Escalation, Airland Battle, and Red Dragon.

Installing Steam

For combat flight sims definitely check out DCS World and its many many modules. The free base game comes with a few planes to fly, but the modules offer very detailed simulations for lots of aircraft.

Asus DGX or DSX

If you're using headphones, get the DGX. Dolby Headphone is great for virtual surround.

Normal 3.5mm plug will work fine. The extra connector is for in-line mics, and won't interfere with anything.

So what are people using for sound cards these days?

I can't really think of an on-board with virtual surround. The effect simulates a 7.1 speaker speaker system in 2.0 headphones. It can really enhance your ability to locate the sound source. For an example, try this video.

If you play games with headphones you should get a card with virtual surround. For example, Creative cards have CMSS-3D, Asus and other cards have Dolby Headphone, some Auzentech cards have both, i believe. Head-fi thread for more info
